$30 million budget increase ratified by Board of Trustees
By Joann Galardy
Editor
The Board of Trustees has approved an unrestricted university budget of S349.6 million for 1984-85 — an increase of S30.8 million over last year's budget, said President James Zumberge.
Tuition income, which will increase by 11 percent during the coming school year, will make up 62.3 percent of the unrestricted budget, Zumberge said.
To compensate for the rising cost of tuition, which will be S292 per unit during 1984-85, S5.6 million has been added to the student aid fund which will bring the available funds to S25 million.
"Student aid annually increases at least as much as tuition," said Veronica Tincher, director of management information and studies in the budget office.
She said that during the coming vear student aid will increase by 18 percent — 7 percent beyond what is necessary to keep pace with tuition.
While student aid will benefit from the new budget, the university library system, another important student concern, will benefit only minimally, receiving $2.3 million, a small increase over last year's budget of $2.1 million.
Zumberge explained that it is impossible for the library to receive a substantial increase from the unrestricted budget without making reductions in another essential area.
He said increased funds for the library will have to come from private gifts and donations.
In the past, library officials have said it is difficult to interest people in giving money tow-ard library improvements.
Such money would most likely come from the restricted budget funds which total $93 million in the 1984-85 budget.
Zumberge said the budget would had to have increased by at least S12.4 million over the 1983-84 total of $318.8 million just to keep the university operating at current standards.
He said the $18.4 million increase in the budget will be used for university improvements like the bolstering of the student aid fund.
"These improvements are over and above the current inflation rate of 6.6 percent," Zumberge said.
Among the university's biggest expenditures is compensation for faculty and staff which will use up approximately 65.4 percent of the income in the unrestricted budget.
Tincher said the budget allows for a $9 million increase in compensation which includes both the salaries and fringe benefits that faculty and staff receive.
She explained that faculty members will receive a 4.5 percent salary increase while staff members will obtain a 3.5 percent wage hike. She said fringe benefits will increase to 27 percent of the salaries of both faculty and staff.
Zumberge said the university's indebtedness has increased from $12.3 million in last year’s budget to S15.3 million in this year's budget.

Walter Mondale claims he has more than enough delegates to clinch the Democratic nomination July 16 at the national convention in San Franciso. Representatives from the Jesse Jackson and Gary Hart campaigns, however, sav their candidates are not readv to concede defeat yet.
Eric Easter, national deputy press secretary for Jackson said Jackson "is going all the way." He added that Jackson is not going to withdraw from the race and is not even considering the vice-presidential nomination at this point.
Meanwhile, Easter said Jackson will have to "wait and see" if his demands will be met by the party platform committee. To win in 1984, the Democrats will have to capture Jackson's constituency bv negotiating with him, Easter said.
Easter said he did not think Jackson's comments concerning Jewish people and his Mid-East policy would hurt his credabilitv at the convention.
Tom Gleason, a spokesman from Hart's campaign headquarters in Colorado, credits the excellent organization in California and state coordinator John Emerson for the primary win. He said the nature of the state and composition of voters made California a natural for Hart.
Gleason said Hart has no intention of withdrawing from the race before the convention. Alter meeting with House Speaker Thomas "Tip” O'Neil and other Democratic Party elders in Washington, Hart was advised on how to campaign without being devisive, Gleason said.
"Hart feels he has every right to go to the convention," said Gleason who added,"after all he has more than 1,200 delegates."
"There is only one delgate count that matters and that is the one on the convention floor," Gleason said.
Hart is campaigning for one position, that of presidential nominee and Gleason said he doubts if Hart would accept the vice presidential spot if offered
"There is only one delegate count that matters and that is the one on the convention floor," Gleason said.
bv Mondale. "But Hart has not ruled anything out,” he added.
Joe Cerrell of Cerrell & Associates, the public relations firm that represented Ohio Senator John Glenn at one time, said that realistically no candidate would turn down the offer of vice president.
A representative from the Los Angeles Hart campaign headquarters said Hart does not want the nomination of a party that has been riveted.
Hart will not contest the so-called tainted delegates, but because he feels it is an ethical, not political issue he will not let it simply pass, Gleason said
If, in the general election, it discovered that the delgates were in fact obtained unethically it could cost the Democrats the election, Gleason said.
Hart w ill not do anything to
damage his chances for running in 1988, which was his original plan, bv contesting too loudly, Cerrell said.
However Gleason contradicts this saving, "Hart has not given any thought to running in 1988." He has not looked beyond '84. He feels he would not be giving his full attention to this race if he did."
Hart's defeat and Mondale's overwhelming delegate victory in New Jersey was in part due to the fact that New Jersey does not have its own television, but rather receives all of its broadcasts from either Pennsylvania or New York, which went to Mondale, Cerrell said.
Gleason said that manv people have their own suppositions, but basically "there were problems in Jew Jersey."
New Jersey is a big labor state, and favored Mondale for that reason. Cerrell said.
Helene Phipps, state coordinator for the Califronia Democratic Council, said she blames the state Democratic Partv for the low voter turnout. "The state Democratic Partv did nothing about getting voters out."
"The state partv wanted low registration to control the vote," Phipps savs. The council is very unhappy with the state party."
The California Democratic Council used to make the party take notice, but no longer has such influence, Phipps added.
rhe three candidates have testified this week before the partv platform committee chaired by Representative Geraldine Ferraro of New York and will continue to meet with influential party and rules committee members.

Meeting the parking needs of university employees during the Olympic Games will be the first priority of the Parking Operations Office, said Carl Levredge, director of Security and Parking Operations.
Approximately half of the university's available parking will be within the boundaries of the Olympic Village and will be in-accessable to university personnel from July 7 to Aug. 12. Levredge is confident, however, that permit holders will be accomodated throughout the five-week period.
Students and those without passes will not be allowed to park on campus from Julv 7 to Aug. 12.
Employees are encouraged to take vacations during the pre-Game period from July 7 to July 28 to reduce congestion. Most university offices will close completely during the Games, from Julv 28 to Aug. 12.
The entire southwest quadrant including Parking Structure A and Lots H, K, I and S will remain open to university staff who must stay on the job throughout the Olympics. Park-
ing Structure D will also be open but only to employees working in the Olympic Village, Levredge explained.
Parking Operations is currently conducting surveys and compiling a list of employees who will work throughout the Olympic period. These staff persons will be issued a special parking pass to be applied to the back of their rear-view mirrors.
This pass will enable employees working in the Village area to get past Los Angeles Police Department traffic control at Jefferson Boulevard and to enter Parking Structure D.
For those not working in the Village area, the pass will serve to expedite entry onto campus.
Levredge's office has worked in conjunction with the Los Angeles Department of Transportation, Cal Trans and the LAPD in developing this plan.
Any extra parking space will be sold at a rate of S6 per event. However, Levredge again emphasized that "the first priority is the faculty and staff. . .If we have space left over after that priority is met we would, of course, want lo make use of all our resources."
